Partner Highlight: Siouxland Childbirth Education

Guiding Star Orange City partners with Amaris Garcia of Siouxland Childbirth Education for Pregnancy/Childbirth Education and Support. As a mother who has experienced birth, a certified childbirth educator, birth doula, breastfeeding counselor, and professionally trained postpartum doula, Amaris Garcia has a passion for supporting other couples to have joyful and healthy birth experiences and be equipped to make informed
decisions for their families through evidence-based education and nurturing support. Amaris has been specially trained to support the process of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum-whether it is a hospital birth, home birth, birthing center birth, medicated birth, unmedicated birth, or even a cesarean section. She is also a certified birth and bereavement doula, prepared to bring support for birth in any outcome, including both expected and unexpected pregnancy and infant loss. Childbirth education and breastfeeding specialty classes are regularly offered, as well as personal one-on-one consultations in person or via Skype.

“The Comfort Techniques class had so many great techniques that we were able to practice and the handouts to remind us in labor. I am more excited about my upcoming birth now after this class and my husband and doula feel more prepared to support me.” Kari

“Loved this class! It was very interesting and helpful!” Mackenzie

“This class helped me feel less anxious about labor and pain. I have more faith I can do this.” Melissa

When asked why she partners with Guiding Star Orange City, Amaris answered, “I chose to partner with Guiding Star Orange City because I believe God made
a woman’s body with the ability to both birth and feed her baby naturally and am passionate about providing holistic care options to women and their
families through the very special time of pregnancy and birth, as well as protecting and supporting a culture of life!”
